Top quality, clean, friendly. Noise from Shell Service station can be an annoyance if in a veranda room (will be taking this up with Shell, as the noise is unnecessary.

Very comfortable room, beautiful view and informative host. Lovely breakfast, but TV's need attention, very limited channels, rooms slightly dirty.

We stayed at the Knysna Manor House during the Knysna 300 MTB race. I have to give credit to Lizzie for going out of her way to make us feel welcome and getting up extra early to make sure that the guys had a cooked breakfast before setting off for their daily grueling task. Thanks Lizzie ... you are one in a million. If we do the race again next year, we will for sure not look any further for accommodation.
